Sep 1, 2021 at 22:52 comment added Andrew @MikeWaters If you feed a sine wave into a dipole the standing waves aren't sine waves they are distorted because radiation skews the phase difference between voltage and current of the standing wave, even thought a dipole is a linear device this departure away from a perfect sine wave of the standing wave doesn't represent the input exactly so i my mind this must cause some distortion.
Sep 1, 2021 at 16:09 comment added Mike Waters I don't quite understand your question. Antennas are linear devices, and only non-linear devices can cause distortion.
Aug 31, 2021 at 14:36 comment added uhoh Agreed. Actually this is a really good question and the down votes are probably from folks who didn't stop to think through all the different modulation schemes and the effects of frequency dependent amplitude and phase shifts would have on them.
Aug 30, 2021 at 23:20 comment added Andrew Giving minus points with no explanation doesn't help anyone, if you can't understand the question or don't think it's useful, how about saying why so we can all learn something ? as per the guidelines for this site ? Otherwise the minus points don't mean anything.
